Date Column

Is it possible to give the relationship between the Date Table and another Table (which has no columns related to date).

If yes, please explain.

Thank you in advance.

Hi @sivasrao ,

 

Is there any column related to date in another table, such as month, year, etc ?

 

If you have a such solumn, you can create relationship between between the month/year column and the data column.

 

If there is no such column, here's a reference for you.

 

This is my date table:

This is my another table, called sales table:

If there is an unique column, you can create relationship between date column and ID column.

Hi @sivasrao ,

 

What do you want to achieve by giving the relationship between the Date Table and another Table?

Morty

Hi @Habitat 

I need to create quarter and monthly reports with the Second Table fields. For that, I have to link these two tables ( Date Table and Second Table)

Note: There are no Calendar and Date-related columns in the second table. 

 

I hope you understand my requirement.
